Book Shelf, The

Maybe it's because most of the big chain bookstores haven't spread to Ellsworth yet. but there are still a few of that rara avis around: the small downtown independent bookstore. This is tucked in to a lovely block of buildings along the Union Riverside, next to a coffee shop and very close to the Library. So make aday of it! The owners are friendly, helpful and they let you browse. The selection includes old, out of print books, plain old used books, and odd things as well. Check it out!
